About this Apprenticeship
As a train traffic controller you work in the signal box. From there you navigate train traffic and ensure safe, punctual and smooth train operations. Starting 1.3.2027 we are looking for you for a career change as a train traffic controller (f/m/d) at DB InfraGO AG in Bad Oldesloe, Bargteheide, Glückstadt, Klanxbüll, Lübeck, Reinfeld (Holstein), Rendsburg, Sankt Annen, Schleswig or Wrist.
What You'll Learn
- On small, medium or large signal boxes you control train traffic via levers, push buttons and rotary switches
- You set routes (track, points, signals) for trains and ensure a safe departure, e.g. from a station
- Monitoring the operations in stations is also in your hands
- Communication and coordination with colleagues in the signal box, train drivers and control centers are part of your daily work
Requirements
- Either: completed, in Germany recognized vocational training, e.g. retail merchant, restaurant specialist, office clerk
- Or: (technical) high school diploma combined with at least two years of professional experience or proof of at least four semesters of study experience
- Your German language skills correspond to at least C1 level
- You also have basic PC skills
- Even in demanding situations you keep calm and maintain an overview
- Teamwork characterizes you and you like to take responsibility
- Willingness to work shifts (night, weekend, holiday work) and flexibility, yet your own work-life balance does not fall short
What Deutsche Bahn AG offers
- We offer you 16 free trips within Germany per year and further travel concessions such as DB Job-Ticket for your daily commute. In addition, there are inexpensive travel options for family and friends.
- We offer you a lot, because you always give 100 percent: a market-standard salary package with usually permanent employment contracts and job security as well as many extras and a company pension scheme.
